Not an allegation, but a simple observation which may have no bearing on who is responsible for what happened to this sweetie Isa, but the choice of phrase, which was impromptu by Mr. Celis has been bugging me like crazy.

It was before I knew he was an actor and tenor. The way he approached the platform, perused the crowd, delivered the line please tell us your demands, tell us what you want.

In La Traviata, an opera Mr. Celis sang in as recently as 2008 for sure:

In Violetta/Germont Scene from Down With Tyranny:

VIOLETTA: No! Don't tell me!Don't tell me your terrible demand!

Where does the reality end and the performance begin?

My thoughts exactly. Whatever happened to this little girl ... Sergio and Becky know. If neither had direct involvement ... I speculate that they are covering for a loved one.

I posted a link ( thanks MuffyBee!) earlier to Isa's profile on NCMEC, as it was referenced in the press conf to say "non-family abduction".

I just hit refresh and it has been changed to "missing and endangered".

When this much time has gone by, and there are witnesses and surveillance-

Nobody will say WHO put Isa to bed except "the family".

LE makes NCMEC change the case classification from non-family abduction to missing and endangered and will not discuss being able to rule out the family.

Isa was not wearing pj's, she was reportedly wearing what she was last seen in at the baseball game.

The family says we don't want to be on camera to take away focus, and LE says them being on camera is helpful to generate leads.

Father was at ballpark later than the rest of the family to clean up and Isa was with him.

I could go on- none of any of this is logical.

There is no logical behavior patterns in any of the information we have been given if this family truly believes Isa was abducted by a stranger from the home.

It is one thing to be unsure of a piece of information here or there, but in reality, the only FACT we have is a 911 call, it's timestamp, and parents that have said we want you not to focus on us, but our daughter but we refuse to answer any questions to help with that effort.

As an example- when Mr. Celis told the person or persons responsible for taking Isa to tell them their demands, how was he expecting that call to come in exactly? From a home they will not return to?

Does that make any sense to anyone? Does he KNOW that the "kidnapper" has their cell phones, etc?

The Patz family refused to move for 33 years so far in the even Etan was alive and could return to his home.

If BAU thought that this was an abduction for ransom, they would have coached the Celis's very precisely as to their statement/appearance, period.

I cannot think of a single case where the BAU/FBI did not WISH to meet with the parents of a missing child.

Conversely, I can think of many where the parent/caregiver/person hiding something refused or refused through an attorney.

If Jose Baez shows up in Tucson so help me Jesus.

Does the couple strike me as parents that would intentionally harm their child? No, they are low risk for that for everything we know so far.

So, why are their actions in contradiction to their own stated theory, that of LE, and unwilling to do anything to change it to find Isa?

NANCY GRACE, HOST: In the last hours, cops remove fabric and pillows from a red hatchback parked in the driveway, as crime scene tape goes back up at the missing girl`s home. And tonight, we learn Isabel usually sleeps with her two older brothers, but not the night she disappears. Why?

Usually sleeps with her older brothers...isn't one of them 14 yrs old? A little past the age of wanting to sleep with siblings? In the same bed or just in the same room, which would be more ok...she might be scared to sleep in her own room alone at 6 yrs old...not making an issue of the sleeping arrangements except that a 14 yr old usually like their privacy in their own room don't they? and the one night that she is in her own room, this happens..Mind you, I don't think that the parents did this, a relative or close aquaintince probably..however, nothing surprises me anymore in these cases.

Nancy Grace alleged that her sources claim that although it was out of the usual ... Isabel slept in her own room ... not her brothers' room ... on the night she was allegedly kidnapped. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Could it be ... along with the open window ... the removed screen ... a stage was being set to protect a loved one from illegal wrongdoing that result in Isabel's demise?

Hundreds of parents and children gathered at the park -- where friends of the family said Isabel and her brothers, 10-year-old Julian and 14-year-old Sergio Jr., play ball -- to light candles and pray for the girl's safe return.

I am troubled by many things in this plea:1. Their focus is on themselves--"We just wanted to let you guys know..." "We are cooperating to the fullest extent.." These are their first thoughts!!2. Becky slips and says, "We do not want you to focus...or...we don't want the focus to be taken off of Isabel." Is that a subconscious slip of the tongue?3. The higher pitch of Sergio's voice...4. The lack of tears when they appear to be crying.5. The lack of oblique eyebrows at key times when they attempt to express true sadness.6. The lack of urgency to find their daughter. They start the interview by thanking people instead of pleading for people to keep a lookout for their daughter, give her description, etc. Which would be more important to you if your daughter was missing?7. Their complete despair and lack of hope.

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - A woman who lives next door to the Celis family says she heard male voices and barking dogs outside her home early Saturday morning, the day 6-year-old Isabel Celis was reported missing.

Alicia Stardevant says it was around 6:30 a.m. when she was awakened by her dogs and heard the voices. A wall separates Stardevant's home from Isabel's bedroom window. Stardevant says the voices sounded like they were coming from her side of the wall, not the Celis home.

"My dogs were going crazy," Stardevant said. "Their dogs were going nuts, and I remember briefly waking up and hearing male voices outside my bedroom window. But it was light outside. I didn't really think anything of it. Then I went back to sleep. Then at eight o'clock I got a knock on the door saying she was missing."

Stardevant says she was sleepy, so she does not recall what the voices were saying. She says the men were not whispering.

"I don't think that they were police," she said. "I mean I wasn't really paying attention, you know. I was really tired, but I don't think it was."

Stardevant says since the incident, police have interviewed her several times.

I learned that the neighbour was waken at approximately 6:30 am by the barking of the Celis family dogs as well as her dogs. I learned that Alicia Stardevant heard voices above the sound of barking dogs through a closed window. I learned that the sun had risen 5:30 AM on the morning of April 21st. I learned that a six foot wall with no entry for an intruder encompassed the entire property. I learned that there was no sounds of a protesting child heard. I was reminded that Becky would be in the process of getting ready for work.

Maybe something was happening that was connected to the disappearing of Isabel Celis at 6:30 AM on the morning of April 21st but ... obviously it was not a stranger child abduction that was in progress.

Again ... could it be that Alicia has the timing wrong and ... all the commotion was about the arrival of the first responders to the 911 call? Could she have turned over ... went back to sleep and ... the next thing she knew LE was knocking on her door?

"He attended Tucson City Court on a matter that's related to animal violations, dog violations, I believe on of those dogs running at large, the other a vaccination violation," said Tucson police Lt. Fabian Pacheco.

Sergio Celis will have to reappear in court next month.

hmmm.....these are the same dogs that they didn't hear barking while their child was being abducted but that the neighbor could hear the morning of the report.

I noticed that running headline on the video but I didn't pay it any attention as the neighbor never mentioned that in her interview. I assumed that NG's folks had put a runner on there from another case. I've seen those types of errors before.

If the neighbor did talk about that NG must be saving it for another night.

The hearts and minds of Arizonans are on Isabel Mercedes Celis. The search continues for the missing 6- year-old in Tucson. Her father, Sergio Celis, is a longtime tenor of the Arizona Opera Chorus. Sunday night they will hold a free concert, "Voices of Hope," to show support for the family in the way they know best; through music. Donations will be appreciated but this concert is a show of support for her family.

The first statement of the father's tells me everything I need to know.

"We are cooperating fully in the investigation".

I do not know what happened in that home, but I do know that those parents do not believe their daughter was yanked out of a 13" window over 5' off the ground for some sort of ransom, and neither does LE.

Well, I really don't know what to think in this case. In the video of the parents addressing the viewers...I feel that mom was sincere...dad is hard to say because he is an actor (am I correct, I think I read that) so I wouldn't even try and read him. Maybe the words they spoke were scripted? Maybe LE wanted them to say certain things. I don't know...it's hard to believe that no one heard anything...but, it is a large home with solid walls. When my one dog barks...I hear her...even if I have taken Tylenol PM and she is in the farthest room from me. I think it is likely that she slept in her own room because they got in so late. Maybe she fell asleep playing in there since she did have her clothes on from earlier. Anyhow, my daughter keeps talking to me so I can't concentrate...ha.
